Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Is it stuck?"

Seeing hope, only to have that hope slip through your fingers again, is a rollercoaster ride that many people can't handle.

Not to mention, this isn't just a roller coaster ride; it's a life-or-death situation!

Upon hearing the message coming from the manual valve in the right-side compartment, the light faded from the eyes of many people around Wang Ye.

Some people who were already on the verge of a mental breakdown were hit too hard by this news.

They started to sob, but that was all.

Some tourists who weren't from the People's Revolutionary Alliance, especially those from the West, couldn't suppress their malice after hearing this news...

"Lieutenant Colonel Sergei, what did you see over there?"

With his mind racing, Wang Ye eliminated all the impossibilities and found the only possibility.

Previously, the Hallelujah outside was attacking the gravity chamber so fiercely that the chamber I was in detached from the main cantilever. Perhaps something was stuck outside the chamber at that time.

"Major Wang Ye, a metal connecting rod is stuck in the cabin hinge. That's probably why you can't turn the valve."

Sergei in the universe was also an experienced person, and he quickly came up with the same idea that Wang Ye could think of.

By rotating the probe on the Iron Man's head, the massive monitoring head quickly identified the reason why the compartments could not separate.

On the display screen in Sergei's cockpit, a metal rod, smaller than a toothpick compared to the Iron Man, was the culprit!

However, having found the crux of the problem, Sergei found himself in a dilemma.

Firstly, the thrust from the dozen or so Iron Men around them created a stalemate with Earth's gravity, ensuring that the gravity capsule would not continue to fall.

If we were to send an Iron Man to deal with that metal rod, the gravity capsule would inevitably fall back down due to Earth's gravity.

If we reach the critical point, all our previous efforts will be in vain...

Secondly, Sergei was staring at the metal rod on the screen. Given the Iron Man's precision, it was simply a pipe dream to think he could pull it out.

Iron Man is for combat, not a high-precision industrial robot. Besides, even if someone had the technology, Iron Man's hands couldn't reach that position!

Sergei, sweating profusely with anxiety, was bewildered. He looked towards his three subordinates, who were still struggling to entangle the Archangel Gundam.

But how long can they hold out? Nobody dares to guarantee that.

What if, while we're holding out and waiting for reinforcements from the Human Revolutionary Alliance to arrive, that Archangel Gundam breaks free from the restraints of the three Iron Men and comes to cause trouble?

"Major Wang Ye..."

With a dry mouth, he explained the current problem. Having no other ideas, Sergei had no choice but to place his hopes on Wang Ye.

If he could, he would love to climb out of the Iron Man's cockpit himself and pull that stick out!

But he can't do it; Iron Man doesn't have autopilot, and the fragile balance can't be broken now.

"I see."

Wang Ye calmly nodded and smiled, having basically anticipated this outcome.

"I've taken care of it."

After putting on his spacesuit, Wang Ye estimated the location of the stick and figured that climbing over it shouldn't be too difficult.

"Major!"

However, his decision was opposed by Piris.

"The situation outside is very complicated. The reason the cabin is still able to remain still is because Lieutenant Colonel Sergei and his team are holding it together."

"Once you leave the gravity chamber, you will have to rely on your own strength to fight against Earth's gravity. If you are not careful, you will be pulled directly into the atmosphere!"

"Back then, you!"

"So I'll handle this!"

Piris's opposition wasn't about stopping Wang Ye from saving the people; after going around in circles, Piris's ultimate goal was to replace Wang Ye himself.

After hearing Piris's warning about the risks, the expressions of those around him became complicated.

Who can explain Earth's gravity?

According to this little girl, if a person were to climb out of the gravity chamber, wouldn't it be a near-death experience?

The fact that this young girl was willing to replace the man named Wang Ye under these circumstances evokes complex feelings in many people.

They stared at Wang Ye and Piris, who were standing face to face, neither willing to give in, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Perhaps only a few girls who are obsessed with watching dramas are still shipping their favorite characters.

"At the very least, I want to go with you."

Just as Wang Ye, who had no time to stall, was about to issue an order using his superior's authority, Piris, sensing something was amiss, spoke up decisively.

Even if it means disobeying military orders.

"All right."

Seeing this, Wang Ye readily agreed; otherwise, what could he do?

Are you suggesting that Wang Ye and Piris stage a disgusting scene here, with Wang Ye saying, "Listen to me, I won't listen, I won't listen"?

Then the matter should have ended there, and Wang Ye led Piris to quickly climb out of the gravity chamber to deal with the stick.

But there are fools everywhere who don't know their place. A few Westerners suddenly jumped out and almost made Wang Ye lose his temper. Luckily, he didn't shoot those bastards dead.

"Are you trying to run away?!"

Several Westerners stopped Wang Ye and Piris, who were about to leave, and shouted loudly to the people around them.

"You two are both from the People's Revolutionary Army, aren't you?"

"The Iron Man outside might not be able to save us, but saving the two of you should be easy!"

The more fluently these Westerners spoke, the more convinced they became of it, and they started shouting even louder.

"You openly say you're going out to pull out that stick, but actually you're going to those iron men. How are we supposed to know?"

"When it's truly impossible to rescue them, you'll run away with those superhumans, and we'll just be left here to die!"

The Westerners, who were talking so enthusiastically that they were practically spitting out saliva, pointed their fingers directly at the glass of Wang Ye's helmet.

It was because of this group's commotion that some irrational people in the crowd, shrouded in the shadow of death, began to clamor.

They surrounded Wang Ye and Piris, preventing them from leaving, and demanded that Wang Ye make a promise or simply take them with him.

This was because they were worried that Wang Ye and the other person would run away alone!

"you!"

Wang Ye raised an eyebrow. It wasn't that he couldn't win the argument, but rather that it would be a waste of time. In this situation, pulling out a gun and shooting those Westerners would only make things worse.

Staring at the Westerners huddled in the crowd, Wang Ye understood even more how despicable those who dragged others down in chaotic times could be.

"Quiet, I'm here. Major Wang Ye won't run away."

Just when everyone was silent, Wang Liumei, who hadn't shown any outstanding performance, suddenly stood up.

"You're here?"

Those surrounding Wang Ye looked at the beautiful Wang Liumei with curiosity and confusion, while a few Westerners shouted directly.

"Who do you think you are? Can you take responsibility if that person runs away?!"

"I am his fiancée."

Pushing aside the people around Wang Ye, Wang Liumei took off the other person's helmet and kissed Wang Ye on the lips.

Turning around, Wang Liumei faced the crowd with grace and poise.

"If he abandons me and runs away, his future and reputation will be ruined."

"Even if he survives, he will suffer a fate worse than death in the days to come."
